My partner and I recently stayed for two nights at The Hotel Andante. The rooms are spacious,…read moreclean, modern and classy. The hotel theme concerns great composers with each room representing one composer. We were in the Bartok. Given its relative newness everything functioned well in addition the beds were comfortable. The staff is professional and friendly. The location is ideal if you want to stay in the historic district and it is less than two blocks to the main square (zocalo). The hotel has an elevator. The entrance is actually quite narrow and the hotel is fronted by what appears to be a bakery but is actually a cafe. We dined there for breakfast and were quite pleased (It is called Amadeus.) Perhaps the best surprise is the cost. We've stayed in comparable and sometimes lesser hotels for three times the money. In addition, eating out is less expensive than in other major cities in the US and Europe. Enjoy!

The room was very spacious and comfortable, but the hotel is way overpriced. The room comes with…read morefeee breakfast in the restaurant downstairs but DO NOT eat there under any circumstances. I took a sip of my coffee and then noticed a floating COCKROACH in the coffee cup. Absolutely horrifying. I can't believe we paid for a hotel that serves coffee with a dead roach.

The mole is put on the table with bread for dipping. Mmmmm. Delicious. I have the six courses meal for 248 Mexican peso. Great deal. Our first course is the local sweet wine with cheese. This is an interesting set up. My second course is the taco with green sauce. Love the taste. The third course is mix veggie soup. My four course is the tuna stuffed avocado. Interesting. My fifth course pork lion in Mexican chili sauce. The last course is flan. Love our time here. Service is excellent. Highly recommended.

It's absolutely gorgeous and has a great location in Puebla that is easy and convenient to get to everywhere in the Centro. Our room included a lovely continental breakfast too which had delicious breads, meats, cheeses, fruit, and yogurt. The room itself is very spacious with a luxurious bathroom. It has a good television you can access Netflix from. I do have a few things to mention though that you may not like: 1) Our room was very warm because it has big windows. I don't personally mind this but my mom did. 2) The beds are quite hard. They have mattress covers on them but it's definitely not a soft, melt into your bed kind of mattress. 3) It was VERY noisy because the hotel is right next to a few bars. It's not really their fault so I can't hold it against them, but on a Friday night the music was extremely loud until probably 2am. I was able to sleep through it but kept waking up. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this isn't the spot for you. 4) The room is quite dark. Regardless though I liked our stay at La Purificadora. There was great service, it's really pretty, and great location.

Hands down, this is the best boutique hotel in Puebla. Rich in history and perfect in design, La…read morePurificadora is conveniently located in the center of the historic downtown action and tucked away on a pedestrian-only cobblestone street. No surprise, it's owned and run by the boutique hotel experts, Grupo Habita. I was impressed by the grand style; lots of high ceilings, a gorgeous library, an inviting open-air lobby area with fire pits, and the minimalist stylings of each room. Someone with clearly fine taste renovated this space from it's former 19th-century water purification factory usage. As for amenities, the restaurant offers contemporary Mexican cuisine and while I didn't really eat there, I fell in love with the artichokes. The large terrace boasts one of the coolest pools I've ever seen. It's like swimming in a long fish tank. Off to the other side of terrace, you'll find the giant jacuzzi and sauna. Best of all, there's a bar up there to enjoy after work drinks. There's also a gym, but this is just a treadmill (that was out of service), an exercise bike and a weight machine. Pretty bare bones. The room itself was gorgeous and the king bed was perfectly comfortable. I particularly loved the large shower and spaciousness of the room. Wifi worked well enough to answer emails, but not good enough to make Skype calls. Next time I find myself in Puebla, I'll definitely be staying here.

Things we liked: the sommelier was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He let me taste two different wines and I get to choose my favorite. He even helped us get a ride home. The food was generally quite good. We ordered four different items, including a beef ceviche, fried parsley, crema Poblana soup and mole poblano with chicken. My favorite of these was the crema poblano soup. All items were all nicely prepared. The servings were quite generous. Despite several complaints we read on Yelp about the prices, we thought they were pretty reasonable compared to what we would pay in the USA. Things we didn't like: there was some construction going on, apparently to prepare for Valentine's Day. There were some poorly behaved children running through the restaurant. There were large groups of waiters standing around talking to each other. The restaurant wasn't very crowded on this Wednesday night. Overall, it's a good restaurant with a few flaws on our one visit.
